What staate in the US included the coordinates of 20 N latitude 158 W longitude?

None does. That point is in the Pacific Ocean about 85 miles from the nearest point of land in Hawaii (on the southwest coast of Lanai), and I don't think the US territorial waters extend out that far.

What are the names of countries that share a land border with Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is an island therefore it does not have a land border with any other country. The Dominican Republic is 90 miles to the west of Puerto Rico across the Mona Straight. That is the only foreign country that is even close to sharing a border with Puerto Rico. And since the US Territorial Waters only extend 12 nautical miles, the island's territorial waters do not border with any other country. The US Virgin Islands are about 50 miles to the East of the Puerto Rican coastline. Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are both territories if the United States so there is no national border there even in the territorial waters they share. The US Virgin Island's territorial Waters border the British Virgin Islands Territorial waters. That would be the nearest international boundary to Puerto Rico.
